作者通过具体研究知识创造过程的特征，解决了围绕“近”和“远”学习过程的二分法。通过提出一个替代的概念化，以众所周知的隐性编码的知识二分法，他们提出了一个“分析”和“综合”的知识创造模式之间的区别。分析性知识创造指的是对（自然）世界特征的理解和解释。综合知识创造指的是设计或建造某物以实现功能目标。通过将此框架应用于Medicon Valley生命科学集群的定性分析，作者证明了全球分布式分析知识创造和面向本地的合成知识创造的互补性。
The authors address the dichotomy around ‘proximate’ and ‘distant’ learning processes by looking specifically at the characteristics of the knowledge-creation process. By way of suggesting an alternative conceptualization to the well-known tacit–codified knowledge dichotomy they propose a distinction between ‘analytical’ and ‘synthetic’ modes of knowledge creation. Analytical knowledge creation refers to the understanding and explaining of features of the (natural) world. Synthetic knowledge creation refers to the design or construction of something to attain functional goals. By applying this framework to qualitative empirics from the Medicon Valley life-science cluster, the authors demonstrate the complementarity of globally distributed analytical knowledge creation and locally oriented synthetic knowledge creation.
